Φρέσκο Φαγκρι και Πιγκα (είδος ροφου)! FRESH FISH (Fagri & Rofos)❣ ______________________________
_________________ 🔹️FAGRI
Greek Name: Φαγκρί (Fah – GREE)
Scientific Name: Pagrus pagrus
English Name: Red porgy, common seabream
About This Fish: As indicated by its common English name, fagri is relatively large in size and silvery-rose in color. It’s one of the more highly-prized fish you’ll find at fish markets and in restaurants in Greece, considered one of the tastiest fish to enjoy grilled. Fagri are both caught wild and raised in fish farms (the former can be at the pricier end of the spectrum, the latter are less expensive). ______________________________
_________________ 🔹️ROFOS (VULNERABLE)
Greek Name: Ροφός (Roh – FOHS)
Scientific Name: Epinephelus marginatus
English Name: Dusky grouper
About This Animal: A relative of the sfirida (see below), this fish loves some quality alone-time, spending its days on the rocky bottoms of subtropical waters including the Mediterranean Sea. They are territorial, each guarding its own section of a reef where they predate on molluscs, crustaceans, fish and octopi. They are hermaphroditic, beginning life as females and then becoming males as they grow older. This, however, makes them vulnerable to over-exploitation as spear-fishermen tend to target the large males.
